Sunroof Gear
This may sound loopy, but if anyone here has a spare sunroof gear (the large one turned directly by the worm gear), I would pay $20 for it. After repairing my sunroof motor, I cinched the clutch locknut too tightly and thereby hosed said gear...geez.

I need one too. The dealer won't sell just the gear; they only supply the whole gearbox & motor assembly for roughly $330. I found a used motor & gearbox off a junker.. guess what? Yep, it was fried too.
I sent one email to Webasto (the sunroof manufacturer) a couple of months ago and got no response. Perhaps more searching would turn up a better address, or even a phone number. They DO have a website. Someone else on this site had a supplier somewhere that would sell just that gear; I'll search and see if I can find that post. I'd love to get my hands on one made out of a more sturdy material than that crumbly fiber stuff; someone suggested that it was made out of that to reduce noise in the gearbox. As if that really matters when I'm driving an old diesel. - Nathan '83 240D "Steiner" '00 New Beetle TDI |

Thanks for the reply, Nathan. Just what I need...competition!
I tried to rebuild the worn teeth on the gear with JB-Weld, and cosmetically, it was a fine job. But when I tested it, the worm gear ate the JB-welded teeth right off. I guess nothing will do but an outright replacement, so I will go salvaging as soon as I can. Perhaps I'll find one for you as well. I suspect the gear is made out of fiber in order to protect the motor's worm gear(?).

This is the only place I could find the gear.
European Parts Specialists 189-A S. Turnpike Rd., Santa Barbara, CA 93111 Phone 805-683-4020 Toll free 800-334-2749 Fax 805-683-3689 E-Mail: Randy Steele randy@epsparts.com Now if anyone knows where to get just the little gear that drives the belt in the antenna I'd apreciate it. I just put $80 into getting it working and the little gear fell in half. Bob D.
